Looking for a whisky-related present this Father’s Day? At Whisky Magazine, we’ve put together a list of four gifts you could give your dram-loving dad on Sunday 15 June.
Glen Moray 12 Years old Smoky
A new whisky released in time for Father’s Day is this latest expression from Glen Moray — a 12-year-old smoky single malt.
Nicknamed the Smoky Twelve, this new release is said to be one for those who like both peated, smoky whiskies, and those who love Glen Moray’s smooth and fruity spirit.
Whisky Magazine editor Bradley Weir described the dram as having light smokiness with sweet notes of cinnamon pastries and vanilla.
Priced at an RRP of £49.99, it is available here and select specialist whisky retailers.
Catch up with our latest news to identify any more new releases that might catch your interest as a gift this Father’s Day!
Brush Creek’s Pair of Aces cocktail
Want to go one step further than gifting an entire bottle of whisky, and instead would rather him make a delicious cocktail? Look no further than this Pair of Aces cocktail from Brush Creek.
Ingredients:
0.75oz Brush Creek Rye Whiskey
0.75oz ounce Brush Creek Bourbon
0.75oz ounce sweet vermouth
2 teaspoons Benedictine liqueur
4 dashes aromatic bitters
Lemon twist for garnish
Method:
Add the rye whiskey, bourbon, sweet vermouth, Benedictine, and bitters into a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir until well-chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.
The best thing about gifting a cocktail? You can make one for yourself too!
